How to use "Windows GodMode" from within TC?

[wanderer]

Didn't know about that. It would be nice if it could be supported by tc. OK, i don't have high hopes for it, but still...

There is no need to support that in TC.
Just make the following folder on your desktop and you have that control panel mode.

GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

I have, it's contents are just unviewable from TC (shown as empty folder) and since i don't plan on having it on the desktop... I was thinking more of having it as as item in the HotDir menu (CTRL+D) and place it somewhere deep in my HDD's treestructure.

This special folder doesn't work outside of the Desktop !
Of course its empty with TC but there is no real need for browsing it.

Tried it just for fun, from the Starter menu and outside of the desktop.

Code: Select all

menu20=Godfather of Control Panel
cmd20=%comspec% /c
param20=mkdir %%temp%%\GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} & explorer.exe %%temp%%\GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

Oh, yes, it might be relevant: Windows 7 SP1 32-bit

As karlchen already pointed out, it works just fine. I tried it in C: and it worked.

Ha! Not bad. It's still in Windows Explorer but at least it can be opened from within TC and it's not in the way.

Thanks.

What you get with this is the Explorer opening that special folder.
The original poster wants to open it in TC and that doesn't work !
Its no benefit to have it on a TC button as everyone has a real Desktop
with all entries always avaiable form its link on the task bar.

Right. It's a nice workaround but as i said above, it's still in explorer.

Anyway, i'm sure Christian has more important things to do but if it's something simple (which i doubt), it would be nice if TC supported it.

God mode has been in my Extended Menus for win 7 and 8 for a long time under: Windows X -> System Tools -> Control Panel -> All Tasks (God Mode)

I just use this external command:

Code: Select all

[em_ext_godmode]
cmd=explorer.exe shell:::{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
menu=All Tasks (God mode)
button=imageres.dll,22

So a little simpler command than karlchens

Oh, yes, I see. I did not know about the prefix "shell:::", so I resorted to creating a temporary folder instead. The "shell:::" prefix is of course shorter and more elegant.
So the 12 points go to Denmark.

Yup. Indeed, an elegant solution. 12 points from me too.
